More education bickering

The department of education is expensive. I'm not talking martini at a trendy club expensive, I'm talking REALLY expensive. The budget is tens of billions. And it goes up every year.

What does that money do for students and teachers, other than make their lives more miserable? I have not been able to answer that question. Hence, the recent posts about School Choice.

I came across yet another article about arguments over education and funding and what not. It seems some states want to make decisions about their schools. Not listen to what the feds say is the best educational practices. The question I ask is this: Would your school district be better off with more or less control of your child's education? The more control the federal government has over your child's education, the less control your state has, the less control your county has, the less control the school district has, and the less control YOU have.
